This ride is in memory of Larry Reimert and will be like one of the 60 plus mile rides we used to do for Larry’s birthday. We always climbed one mountain did some tuff single track and had hot dogs in Jim Thorpe so I plan on including those elements in this shortened version of a Larry birthday ride. It will have an option to ride about 40 miles or about 25 miles. Starting place for the 40 miles will be in Slatington at the stone parking lot across from Sal’s Pizza, 102 main Street Slatington, 7:30AM. People doing 25 miles meet at the Weissport canal at 9:00AM. From Slatington we ride to Lehighton with a quick stop at the donut shop and then over to Weissport to meet up with the 25 milers by 9:00. Then to Jim Thorpe, then up the switch back, climb flagstaff road to the top, then the ridge west, down the power line and out to 902. Taking the road to the nature center to see the birds and pick up the switch back to town for hot dogs. I think 25 milers should get back to cars about 1:30 and 40 milers about 3:00.
I hope to share memories of the past birthday rides with the rides of this short ride.
